.........from the stadiums to the grubby pubs, covering Rock, Leftfield, Punk, Electronica, Metal, a lil bit of Hip-hop, pop and dance; all together, on one website as it happens, by people it's happening to. Free downloads and all kinds of resouces to guide you...
October first saw the www.drownedinsound.com second birthday and in the same time passed the 5000 article limit.

This is what is on DiS..
